Welcome to my blog! I'll be posting thoughts about art, photos, happenings, and other things that strike me--and hopefully my readers--as interesting. And please visit my website by clicking the link to the right--thanks!

Thanks to painter Patricia Oblack, and her photographer husband for sending tips on photographing outside. I've reposted the painting below with a better shot. At their suggestion I put up a while sheet beside the work to reflect more light.

I also dug out my tripod and experimented with the manual settings on the camera, shooting at a lower speed. I know from my slide taking days that this can produce richer color, and I think it worked well for the digital camera also.
